makes more mistakes than other california grocery stores. >> there is a policy if you charge lorer than the advertised price, you get the items free under $5. >> reporter: that is what customers are supposed to get when they are overcharged at safeway. the results of a 2008 lawsuit after a statewide investigation found the same thing back then we are still finding today. widespread overcharges. we went shops at five safeway stores an were overcharged five times we compiled data from 31 california counties an 11 different states. in california alone, inspectors where overcharged on one out of every 50 items purchased over the past five years. a spokesman claims this is a store within the industry norm. last year alone, their

overcharge rate was 12% higher than other grocery stores statewide. >> it creates problem. >> reporter: the federal trade commission points to their short run sales. he says with more price fluctuation comes for opportunity for error. >> changing prices all the time generates a certain level of confusion by consumers. and the store is the getting the benefit of that. >> reporter: a price he says the store is obligated to get right legally. >> none of this is top secret stuff. you don't have to figure out how to get the prices right. if the stores don't do it alone, agencies must do it. >> reporter: and that's what the state of california has attempted to do with three separate lawsuits. since the most recent in 2008, records show is the supermarket continues to fail inspections

by overcharging in three quarters of the counties. that doesn't include the counties that didn't allow us access. the remaining counties have done no inspections at all. >> at one point the do they step in and do something? >> i can't comment on whether or not there is any current ftc action on safeway or any other company. >> reporter: neither can the california division of standards. but last year, they had a price verification survey. the grocery stores inspected were twice as likely to ere in their favor. by comparison. safeway stores were four times as likely to overcharge. that's according to county inspections conducted the same year. and scanner issues go far

beyond california. safeway is in 20 states. inspections show higher failure rates in three other states, but california is the only state to take legal action and some have no inspections at all. >> the best way to protect yourself is to protect yourself. >> while they are responsible for protection at the national level. newman says federal investigations can take years so it's up to consumers to check their receipts. those in california should hold safeway to the court order. all though it does take dedication. ingly don't do that here. you know where it's at. >> reporter: we spent a total of 30 minutes in customer service in three stores to dietary agains for three. >> shouldn't i get it free? >> no. >> at the end of the day, only one store agreed. >> we can do that. >> reporter: now safeway says employees have since been retrained on the court ordered policy, but employees told us they were trained not to offer it for free unless a customer

asks. safeway says it is committed to eliminating all pricing errors and doesn't mean to charge over. they don't think our numbers reflect their errors. >> lots of people checking their respites now. >> it's a good idea. >> thank you julie. lots of people checking their thermometers tonight. >> it is cold out there already. it will be tolder when you wake up tomorrow morning. here are the temperatures right now. the backdrop is the santa clara valley. san francisco is at 46 those are the warm spots. santa rosa 49. concord 38. vallejo. we will be in the upper 20s tonight for santa rosa, clearlake. nap pa. san francisco, 40 and how about
